The ambient temperatures this unit should operate within is 5C - 35C. Proper
air circulation must be provided. The system will operate satisfactorily only if the
recommended air gaps are provided, these are 65mm min rear clearance and
50mm side clearance. An air vent is provided with each unit for high usage
applications, this must be installed in the top half of the cupboard door as a
matter of course. An optional fan kit is available and should be used to ensure
adequate ventilation. Make sure that the ventilation grilles of the undersink unit
are not obstructed.

Zip HydroTap Installation and Operating Instructions May 2005

The Zip HydroTap is equipped with a self-calibrating program which caters for
altitude adjustment.
Filters For models: BC, BD, BF
The Zip HydroTap filter control is preset to 6000 Litres to provide trouble-free
flow and operation in most operation in most installations. Local water quality
conditions may require an alteration to this capacity. In areas where the water has
a high concentration of sediment, the preset litre capacity may be shortened to
avoid poor flow, taste or odour situations. In areas where the water quality is
above average, lengthening the preset capacity may be desirable, but not essential.
If any of these changes is needed, follow the instructions on page 11 or contact
your Zip Service Provider.

Before positioning the heater, connect the braided water inlet hose (supplied) to
the cold water inlet on the unit. This is located at the rear of the unit.

SPECIAL NOTE: Connect the water supply to the undersink unit using flexible hose
already attached. Turn on the water and check for leaks. If no leaks are evident
turn the power on.

Position the Zip HydroTap undersink unit as close as possible to directly beneath
the Zip HydroTap tap head.

Step E Testing and commissioning

(not the HT boiling only series)

The connection tubes supplied with the tap head assembly CANNOT be lengthened.
Leave at least a 50mm air-gap without obstruction on each side of the unit.
Adjust both cupboard door hinges and attach the supplied rubber door buffers to
the doors to create a 4mm air-gap between the doors and the cupboard. This is
the minimum ventilation requirement for low usage installations.

Use these buttons to

scroll through the menu

Use these buttons to

activate and de-activate
the program selected

Important Note: Proper air circulation must be provided for all Boiling and Chilled
models. The system will operate correctly only if the recommended air gaps are
achieved during installation. A ventilation hole measuring 100mm must be cut into
the top half of the cupboard door to accommodate the air vent provided. Make
sure that the undersink unit ventilation grilles are not obstructed in any way.
The above instruction in critical!

Step C Connecting the tap

Hot line

Chilled line

Model BC and HT (boiling/chilled)

Measure and trim the blue tube and connect it top the chilled outlet located on the
top front, right hand side of the unit. Use spring clamps provided.

Once stabilised, the element will cycle On and bring the water to Boiling Point and
hold for it there for a short period.

Zip HydroTap Installation and Operating Instructions May 2005

The HydroTap is equipped with an auxiliary connection point for an exhaust fan
on the rear panel close to the cold water inlet / flex and plug area. The fan kit is
available as a spare part. The fan operates in parallel with the Condensor fan
helping to remove heat from the cupboard space. This fan should be purchased
and filtered to the HydroTap if the airflow characteristics of the cupboard space
are inadequate for the effective removal of hot air thereby adversly affecting the
operation of the HydroTap.

Application of the fan is of paramount importance in situations where the cupboard

space reaches temperatures greater than 35C.
